Calling all Wetlanders - Welcome to Indaba 2011!

The 16th National Wetlands Indaba offers a platform for sharing our collective wisdom about our country's prized wetland assets. Didima Resort and Conference Centre is located near Cathedral Peak in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Sue van Rensburg, Coordinator of SAEON’s Grasslands-Forests-Wetlands Node, is a member of the Indaba organising committee. For further information, contact Sue on sue@saeon.ac.za

All Wetlanders (local, regional and international) are invited to attend this year’s National Wetlands Indaba to be held at Didima Resort and Conference Centre from 18-22 October.

This will be the 16^th National Wetlands Indaba, a process which started way back in 1998, and will continue to bring colleagues, scientists, stakeholders, educators and conservationists together to share our collective experience and wisdom about our country's prized wetland assets.

The exciting and challenging four-day programme includes presentations, discussions, workshops and field trips. There will also be awards presented for contributions made to the wetland field through education and awareness, research and wetland stewardship.

A call for nominations will be made shortly through the provincial wetland forums.
